| 115 | On a more serious note, let's remember that the War on Terrorism is

|
---|
| 117 | not freedom</A>. How about a war on <A HREF="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/2183748.stm">pedophilia</A>?
|
---|
| 118 | Oh, I forgot, protecting children from sexual abuse isn't as sexy as
|
---|
| 119 | saving the world from this week's evil archvillain. How about a war

| 120 | on soft money? Well, Enron can't <A HREF="http://www.public-i.org/story_01_010902.htm">bribe
|
---|
| 121 | him</A> a second time: they're broke. How about a war on corporate
|
---|
| 122 | accounting skullduggery? Cheney's relationship with Arthur Andersen
|
---|
| 123 | would make that difficult. Oh well. The Bush Administration is well
|
---|
| 124 | known for its irrational exuberance (or should that be hubris?).</P>
|
---|
| 125 | <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>
|
---|
| 126 | Never mind that the President was <A HREF="http://www.public-i.org/story_01_100400.htm">judged</A>
|
---|
| 127 | by the SEC to have engaged in Martha Stewart's new, fun pastime. (I

|

| 133 | Oh, that's right, it was ten years ago. Presidents only have to

|
---|
| 135 | themselves, especially if they're Christians, and just go on as if
|
---|
| 136 | nothing had ever happened. The People don't need to know every detail

| 137 | of Dubya's sordid past, do they?</P>

| 138 | <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>

|

| 140 | <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>
|
---|
| 141 | Let's look at both by going back to the 'evil archvillain' thing.
|
---|
| 142 | Bush's family has been <A HREF="http://www.rense.com/general14/bushsformer.htm">doing
|
---|
| 143 | business</A> with evil archenemies since WW2, when the family
|
---|
| 144 | company was seized by the US Government on the grounds that it was a
|
---|
| 145 | front for the Nazis. Now, fast-forward to the 1990's. Bush Jr. has
|
---|
| 146 | inherited a propensity for collecting <A HREF="http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/INL110A.html">buddies
|
---|
| 147 | of ill repute</A> such as Khaled bin Mahfouz.</P>
|
---|
| 148 | <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>
|
---|
| 149 | Khaled bin Mahfouz is a big investor in the Carlyle Group (GOP pals
|
---|
| 150 | and military hardware manufacturers who've done rather nicely out of
|
---|
| 151 | this latest 'war') with chums on the Group's board. He is also <A HREF="http://www.ardmoreite.com/stories/102999/new_saudi.shtml">backing
|
---|
| 152 | Bin Laden</A> to the tune of 7 figures a year, and has been for a decade.</P>
|
---|
| 153 | <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>
|
---|
| 154 | Did I mention Enron had been secretly negotiating with the Taliban to
|
---|
| 155 | build a pipeline through Afghanistan? Did you know that? Neither did
|
---|
| 156 | I. The <A HREF="http://www.john-loftus.com/enron3.htm">cover-up by
|
---|
| 157 | the FBI</A> was a little <I>too </I>successful: it gave the Taliban
|
---|
| 158 | time to let Al Qaida complete the training and preparation necessary
|
---|
| 159 | for the attack on the World Trade Center - you know, the one in mid-September
|
---|
| 160 | of last year. Oh, and Bush Sr. was a business partner in the Carlyle
|
---|
| 161 | Group with the Bin Laden family from the early Nineties to... hmm,
|
---|
| 162 | you'll have to fill in the end-date for yourselves.</P>
|
---|
| 163 | <P ALIGN=JUSTIFY>
|
---|
| 164 | That pipeline 'operation' was the reason Enron (a <A HREF="http://www.moles.org/ProjectUnderground/drillbits/5_10/vs.html">seasoned
|
---|
| 165 | malefactor</A> in the oil business) bought up huge tracts of land in
|
---|
| 166 | the Caspian basin: it was for the <A HREF="http://www.fairfieldweekly.com/articles/enron.html">'railroad
|
---|
| 167 | about to go through Rock Ridge</A>'. What a good thing that Bush now
|
---|
| 168 | has ersatz control of Afghanistan and its government. All he needs
|
---|
| 169 | now is a toe-hold in Turkmenistan. With Enron stock at an all-time
|
---|
| 170 | low, its land almost worthless and the Afghani <I>and</I>
|
---|
| 171 | Turkmeni governments nice and pliable (the latter terrified of <A HREF="http://www.rferl.org/nca/features/2000/04/F.RU.000425131548.html">Russia</A>
|
---|
| 172 | trying to assert itself), Bush's business associates can build the
|
---|
| 173 | pipeline oh-so-cheaply. They'll make a killing, just like <A HREF="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2001/12/02/BU172807.DTL">the
|
---|

|
---|
| 176 | The sooner the American government (whoever happens to be at the helm
|
---|
| 177 | - Dick Cheney, Mrs Clinton, Dick Cheney again, ...) stops taking it
|
---|
| 178 | upon itself to engage in unilateral military incursions (200+ since
